'Without or with offense to friends or foet I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Vare's Senate Seat Leaning heavily against a desk to keep himself from falling to the floor, his paralyzed arm stuck in his trousers pocket, William S. Vare of Pennsylvania staged a dramatic scene in the Senate Wednesday when in an impassioned plea he demanded the seat to which he was elected three years ago. In a high-pitched and almost feeble voice the semi-invalid read a 2,000 word speech with obviously difficulty, in which he struck boldly at his accusers, pausing at the conclusion of v each sheet to use his only available hand to pick up the next one. He admitted spending much money in his primary cam paign but contended many senators had spent more than 54 cents a vote in their election. There seems no indication that Vare's pathetic appeal made any difference with the line-up in the Senate, for the castigation of his corruption of the electorate and of the "Vare machine" which Senator Norris declared "has throt tled the people of Pennsylvania and dominated the voters so they vote in alphabetical order" including the dead, contin ued. Last February the special Senate committee reported that Vare should be disbarred for fraud and corruption at primaries and election. The Senate committee on elections, by a strictly party vote, has decided against the contest filed by William B. Wil son, who opposed Vare in the election and carried the state, outside the machine bossed cities of Philadelphia and Pitts burgh by 50,000, only to be counted out by 173,500. The com mittee did not decide the contest in the judicial spirit intend ed by the Constitution, but on partisan grounds- Such contests should be left to the courts for as Tom Reed said "Congress never divides on strictly partisan lines, except when acting judicially. The Senate in all probability will deny Vare his seat, but whether it will reject the report of its committee and neat Wilson is doubtful, although the attacks made by Heed, Grundy and the "Old Guard" upon the Progressive- Democratic coalition render it a possibility. "Canada's Mailed Fist" Many of the large eastern newspapers are excited over the action of the Canadian government in requiring the Canadian newsprint mills to establish as a fair price ?00 a ton, as against $55 now prevailing. As the mills utilize Crown timber, they have no alternative but to comply. So the big pub;ishcrs who view it with alarm have called a meeting to discuss what is to be done to meet the situation and talk about curtailing the size of their blanket sheets in retaliation. A sample of editorial indignation is taken from the St, Louis Star which declares under the caption "Canada's mailed fist strikes" that "the attempt to cure a tremendous over-produition of newsprint by an artificially created ex orbitant price is an economic monstrosity. Perhaps, but it is no more of an economic monstrosity than our own attempts to cure over-production by excessive protective tariffs and direct subsidies. It is no harder on the American public to have to pay more for newsprint, than it is on Canada's public to be denied markets, for their own products, or on Americans themselves to have to pay higher costs of living for the profit of our own industries. It all depends whose ox is gored. Is not all of our pa ternalistic statesmanship merely effort to artificially set aside the law of supply and demand? What is the half bil lion farm relief fund, the tariff and agricultural embargoes, the shipping and other subsidies, but attempts to artificially create exorbitant prices? Canada is simply following in our footsteps. And if it results in reducing the size of inflated commercialized metro politan papers, which are so bulky that they defeat their purpose and have to be filled with twaddle and bunk, Canada will be doing a favor to the American public. An Explorer Balks Commenting upon Commander Hyrd's South Pole expe dition, Major Tygtove Gran, the explorer who accompanied Captain Itobert Scott on his tragic south polar expedition in 1910. declares the venture is misleading because it is "speculating in sensations." He continues: The American way of arctic exploration makra It no longer an honor to be an arctic explorer. They do not need scientltl? experience and years of preparation. They are explorers as soon as sulllclent money Is col lected. Major Gran, while admitting the liossiliility that Com mander liyrd has been above the South Pole, declares the polar region mountains he reported a "fantasy", and that there had been some mistake cither in the telegraphic re port or in the stylistic manner of its comiwsition. While there are mountain ranges 250 miles from the pole and "it is possible that farther south giant mountains are to be found between the routes followed by Captain Scott and Jioald Amundsen, respectively, it is certain that farther south from 88 degrees there are no mountainous formations to be found in the great tableland." Major Gran also thinks it curious that after 17 years, Byrd should be able to observe from the air traces of the camps of Amundson and Scott, when the huts were built of enow and "snow crumbles away." The Norwegian explorer does not comprehend the true spirit of American exploration. It is a commercialized in stitution, devised for publicity and advertising. The indus tries supplying the gas, the radios, the food and other sup plies, as well as the newspapers controlling the publicity, feel .that they are entitled to their money's worth and are merely seeking to get it As to tho long winded copyrighted syndicated descrip tion of adventures, trivial and otherwise, they are merely the products of hack-writers in metropolitan newspaper offices far from the scent; just as the Lindbergh flight stories were. To make them readable, they have to "speculate in sensations" real or imaginary that is what the public wants. The real records of polar expeditions are about as color less and monotonous reading as it is possible to find so the g-host writers are merely pepping it up to sell newspapers- .

"Of course it sounds like a logi cal proposition tha ceveryone should pay his share toward thU public duty like all other public expenses and we have our county poor fund which takes care of a great share, probably the largest share of indigent cases. "But it must be bome tn mind that in assessing taxes it strikes all property owners alike, rich and poor. And in many cases taxes are paid by poor people, people Just as poor as those who are being aided by the taxes raised. But these peo ny marb on a IiM natch of land, a few chickens, or a cow and have Just enough resources to hold body and soul together are too proud to ask for help from charitable sources. But every dol lar that Is asked from them for re lief of the poor is an added bur den on those people just as poor as the people they pay taxes to assist. So these extra burdens would fall heavily on people who are now burdened about as far as they can stand It. "No. these extra agencies are a fine thing because they secure money from the benevolent well-to-do who can afford to help and do not reach down into the pockets of the very poor who- however, stand on their own feet and re fuse aid when they can struzgle through and maintain themselves some wuy. A fine work is being done by these charitable people in the var ious gaencies, awcla&s of work which It Is hard for us to do."
